AT THIS TIME LAST YEAR, only 13% of families were planning to
host gatherings going into the fall and winter holiday season. At the
same time, many retailers were playing catch-up from managing
item shortages and instore restrictions. This resulted in small and
intimate family gatherings, noted Andrew Moberly, director of category
solutions for Stamford, Conn.-based Daymon Worldwide. But this year,
consumers are expected to return to semi-normal holiday gathering
traditions.
" Although the delta variant still has many consumers concerned,
they are more settled into their routines, and many have a better sense
of what they feel comfortable doing, " Moberly said. " Although there are
still some long-term supply challenges and concerns about inflation,
retailers have had a year to adjust and prepare for uncertainty and have
better understandings of their supply chains. While we will likely not get
back to pre-pandemic levels, there will be a significant improvement in
the number of consumers planning to host. "
That means retailers should plan for catering options that both
fit pre-pandemic holiday gathering behaviors but continue to offer
the flexibility consumers have come to expect during the pandemic,
pointed out Heather Kirchner, vice president of FoodStorm, a New Yorkbased
catering software provider.
" There's been more of a demand for online ordering and retailers
should be prepared this coming holiday season to offer smaller group
items and packaging and still continue to offer those contactless delivery
and pickup options to make sure that everyone feels safe, " said Kirchner.
